1999 BMW e36 318is sport coupe Avus blue
The bmw e36 318is is well known for its balance, handling and a rev happy 1. 9l twin cam four cylinder engine, making for an efficient but engaging driving experience bridging the gap to the e30 m3! Although it has less power than the 6 cylinder models the near 50/ 50 weight distribution makes for a fantastic drive!
This is a later facelift car equipped with the 1. 9l m44 engine produced 140hp mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox.
This is a well preserved example of a future classic that is only going to appreciate in value, to find an e36 coupe that has not been messed with is becoming increasingly more difficult.
This is a sport model featuring original m-tech body styling, sports seats, stiffer sport suspension and 16” alloy wheels.
This particular example of a 318is has lived most of its life in the same family being passed down from father to son, its spent some of its life off the road then was recommissioned with new fuel system parts, brake overhaul and any other mechanical work needed was carried out for it to be put back on the road a few years ago.
Mechanically this car is spot on the engine is strong and healthy and is a blast to drive, the Avus blue bodywork is in overall good condition with only light bubbling on the driver’s rear arch and some lacquer peel on the rear bumper and boot lid. The half leather sports interior is also in good condition with slight wear to the driver’s seat bolster and a slightly sagging headliner that is very common on BMW’s of this age.
Overall this is a great opportunity to acquire an appreciating classic bmw that is fantastic to drive. Well preserved original examples are becoming rare, and being a sport makes it that bit more special!
Price is £4, 995
